Stand As One Man.

We are to stand up and be counted
in a harder fight for temperance than
has ever gone before. The recent Of
forts of the liquor traffic in this and
other states, indicate that the mon en-
gagged in this traffic have been made
mad, that they are preparing the way
for their own downfall. They are
united, determined, and banded to-
gether, and they have agreed to drop
all differences of opinion upon party
or other questions, and stand solidly
for the men who represent their trade
interests. 1t is for us contending
against them to be equally wise, to
send out our skirmishers and find
where their line is entrenched, and
then entrench against them and fight
manfully and well, and the victory will
be ours.-Nashville Issue.

pearance, said:
"You are a moral philosopher and
I am q philosopher relying on Chris
tianity-can l do anything to help
you in this emergency"
mo I don't see that you can do
anything" was the reply of Spies
Then Spies began to quote from the
Greek and Latin poets.
"He was q man of wide reading
and was remarkably able in argu-
ment," said Mr.. Reid. II was glad
that I had been assigned to his cell
instead OF some Of the others. There
was a kind of sympathy oetween us,
Finally he wrote the following free
translation from Goethe's Faust:
''The few who did from knowledge's store

But foolishly their overflowiug hearts no,

Their sentiments and visions to the moi

stake. A. SPIES"
The translation, written in beau

TO ADVERTISERS
The Free Press Recognized by Geo. p.
ROwell & Co., as Ahead as an
Advertising Medium.


The well known advertising agency of
Geo. p. Rowell & Co. of New York City, have
issued an annual Newspaper Directory for
thirty years or more, and these publications
have been generally recognized as authority
as 10 the matter of newspaper circulation.
In tho regular issues of the Directory thoy
have included all the newspapers published
in the United States and Canada. Quite
recently, however, they have issued con-
densed list. 1t gives only tho best newspa-
pers a. advertising mediums and hence is
practically better, because more convenient
than their larger Directory. Four-fifths OF
the newspapers OF the United States are
practically Counted out" by intelligent ad-
vertisers, who only want to know the bcst.
Hence the value of the work under notice.
The publishers In the preface well say;
1T sifts the wheat from the chaff. II d.
rects the attention of an advertiser toward
papers which he should and ought to use,
and tends to intercept portion Of that pa
tronage which goes to publications which
cost greatly in excess of any power to bene-
at which they possess. 1t takes the general
ground, that the best is the cheapest"
We need scarcely say that on this plan,
the FREE Press is given by this book lsee
page 1881 as the advertising medium OF San
Marcos and Hays county, it being Tie only
one on the list. We respectfully invite the
attention of advertisers, both at home and
abroad, to this fact.

THE PUBLIC DEBT.
A Very Rapid Increase Under Decreas
Ing Circumstances.

ing CircumbtAuce3s
The assumed rapid decrease Of the
public dedt Of the United States. as
shown in the statements published,
has seemed very marvellous to for
eigners. The experience Of other
nations with their public debts leads
them to doubt the statements Of this
country. Most Of them have contin-
ually increasing instead of decreas-
ing national debts.
How then, they ask, can the United
States diminish its debt so rapidlyi
The prosperity Of the people dur
ing oil these years has been unabated.
In fact the country has never seen
such an era OF general prosperity.
The two conditions appear to be con-
tradictory.
Are the statements truei
In one sense they are undoubtedly
correct, but the public debt hos largo
ly increased since the war. 1t has
accumulated to the great inventors
and discoverers whose successful Of
forts havo eased the burdens Of labor
and made pleasant the pathways Of
toll.
A grateful public should also 40
knowledge its indebtedness to those
who have promoted health and hap
piness The proprietors OF Warmers
safe cure have given to the public .
specific for oil kidney disorders, and
the innumerable train Of frightfnl
diseases that are. caused by them.
The late public teacher, Dr. Dio
Lewis, who seldom prescribed medi-
cines Of any sort, gave to this re-
nowned specific his warm commen-
dation, and said If he found himself
suffering from any kidney disorder
| he should use it. Kidney disorders
are the cause Of 90 per cent. say the
proprietors of that remedy, Of all
diseases. If you keep the kidneys in
health, You have the greatest nssur-
ance Of freedom from all disease.
Before the discovery Of this remedy.
bright's disease was deemed incura-
ble. Now the number Of victims Of
the dread kidney diseases, and all
others caused by such diseases, who
are by it snatched from death con-
stantly increases, and as the efficacy
of the remedy becomes more widely
known those who have reason to be
deyoutly thankful that this wonderful
Specific has been made known to the
world, multiply with rapidly increas-
ing ratio.
